We've all been so anxious to get our hands into the soil again to start the spring gardening celebration. All winter long, we've been thinking about our gardens. Should we add some flower-filled containers to the patio?—or create an herb patch right outside our kitchen window?—maybe something much more ambitious has crossed our minds like planting a vegetable garden, adding fencing and perennials, or incorporating a water feature.

It's all good and very exciting! To make this process a little easier, we've put together a list of some nurseries and garden centers in the area that can be a great source for plants and shrubs, as well as planters and containers, garden accessories and sculptures, planting material, tools and much more. Many offer landscaping services as well. And equally important, these centers offer tremendous inspiration.
